• From Key West  to New York City, Nina Bloom's life take many turns. A young woman, known as Jeanine, goes to Key West for holiday with friends during college, where tragedy seemingly turns into a magic existence. Her husband Peter is her savior in desperate times and soon she finds herself pregnant. Does she really know this man who came from no where to make such change in her life?  As a local policeman, Peter is shot and his partner killed, leading to a quick unraveling of a blissful existence. In the middle of all of this, Jeanine decides life may be safer elsewhere for her and her unborn child. As she makes such a momentous decision and runs, she comes across a serial killer, and barely escapes.
• Soon danger seems very far away as she raises her child and becomes a respected attorney. Her firm has decided to collaborate with a group of attorneys fighting for those whose cases need review based on the possibility that DNA testing may change the results. Now danger may be back in the cards. Does Nina risk her current existence to defend the man who was convicted as Florida's serial killer? A man she knows is not the man she escaped from many years ago. There is risk and danger involved in a return to the sunshine state and new facts will be revealed about a life she ran from.
• James Patterson has written many, many novels and now frequently collaborated with other writers. Though many of the collaborations really do not work if you are looking for a James Patterson novel, this book with Michael Ledwidge is a good choice. The characters are well-defined and mysterious when needed. The action and danger take interesting twists and turns and the relationships are enjoyable to watch endure or develop. This may be a new writer to watch for.
